Show Off // GT86 on Volk Rays
The making of cars these days are often very similar to the making of films. Some were built under low costs and budgets with the expectations of having high margins. Others were built so roughly and unthoroughly by the designers, with timely market entry becoming the only priority. Few are, however, built to represent the rebirth of legends. Designed, built …

GENESIS Car Show and Gath // hawk’n’poke X Hellaflush // Part 1
To say our team was not exhausted would be a lie. To say we’re not impressed by the quality of cars would not be true. To say we’re satisfied would not 100% be correct. It’s tiring, it’s exciting, it’s refreshing, it’s memorable, yet it’s very very far from perfect. It’s GENESIS – it’s the beginning. Mid of 2012 hawk’n’poke team …

Show Off // S212 E Class Estate on HRE
I’m actually quite surprised to find the E Class Estate being available in Jakarta. I’ve never seen one in person, and yet here’s one looking magnificent on a set of 20″ HRE P93L wheels. The E Class Estate has its styling cues derived from the saloon version, plus a large hunchback at the rear to accomodate almost 2,000 litres of …

High Street // S-Class on HRE
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class. One of the most popular upscale sedans that roam the streets of Jakarta. High rise buildings, CBD areas, golf courses and lavish housing complexes are among the natural habitats of these long wheel-based sedans. Despite their popularity, I still find it difficult to spot ‘heavily’ modified S-Classes. Most owners I knew have simply installed aftermarket wheels on …

Mind Trick // CLS63 AMG on Modulare
Fuel economy of 10 liter/100 km. Four doors. 0-100 kph in 4.4 seconds. 550 bhp. Sold as 63 despite its 5.5L engine. On paper these stuffs do not seem to make sense. Borderline impossible to build, possibly going to be difficult to sell. But don’t be fooled. A quick glance at the 2013 CLS63 AMG and you’ll understand why. While …

The Apex // Skyline on Nismo Edition Volk
The more I get to know the Indonesian car culture, the more I feel like I’m becoming a part of the minority. I despise wannabes (Lancer with Evolution badge? Stay away), I don’t personally like body conversions (Lancer to Ferrari? You’re fooling yourself), I pay 0 respect to those 5 Series diesels wearing M5 badges, I’ll say you’re cheap if …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on HRE

A couple of days ago Charles met the same owner again to take several quick pictures of his F10 5 Series …

LOVE for JAKARTA Coverage
Floods, hella-floods! Due to the recent water damage covering plenty of areas in Jakarta (some areas were even flooded up to 1.5mtr deep!), the GENESIS Team decided to reschedule the Jan 26th Car Show event to Feb 23rd. Several weather forecasters predicted Jan 26th-27th to be the pinnacle of Jakarta’s rainfall, worsened by rising sea levels. Not taking chances nor …

Released by Audi as the coupé version of its A4, the A5 has inherited the A4’s modern design cues. It is Audi’s answer to the market’s need for a more compact yet stylish luxury automobile.

Daily Stretch // E46 3 Series on CCW
This E46 first caught my attention while I was attending HIN contest late 2012. If you can remember, I put this E46’s picture as the featured image on that contest’s coverage article. This time Mex has had the chance to do a full photo shoot for this stance machine. It’s pretty obvious that the ride has been purposely built for …

A Composer // Lamborghini Gallardo on Rennen Forged
Couple of days ago I posted the quite unusual yellow painted Z4 sent in by Mex from Bandung. Today’s ride he sent me is even more outrageous. 1) It’s a Lamborghini. 2) It’s wearing the not-so-usual Rennen Forged wheels of choice. 3) It’s been installed with a set of custom fibre and carbon body parts. A typical Lamborghini owner these …
